The Rise of Chia Seeds

Chia seeds have been hailed as a superfood for their impressive nutritional profile and versatility in culinary applications. These tiny seeds, derived from the Salvia hispanica plant, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, antioxidants, and various vitamins and minerals. Their ability to absorb liquid and form a gel-like consistency when soaked makes them a popular ingredient in puddings, smoothies, baked goods, and, of course, beverages like lemonade.
